Self-Care Sunday: Anna Valencia

Self-Care Sunday: Anna Valencia

Spring into self-care with our March #BeyondCleanBeauty, Anna Valencia-Bruch.

Anna is an art director, graphic designer, illustrator, and lover of all things creative. She currently lives in Brooklyn, NY with her photographer and "jack of all trades" husband, her son, and her furry pets who she loves to spoil!

We caught up with Anna about her favorite Sunday rituals in the springtime, her all-time favorite Ogee products, and her tips for living a balanced lifestyle.


1. What are the self-care rituals you make time for every Sunday?

Sundays are for sure my favorite day of the week. I'm up early most mornings and even though I'd love to sleep in there's something so nice about having my early morning double espresso out on my stoop to start my day (such a Brooklyn thing!)

The beach is my happy place so we make it a point to run over to the Rockaways with Rocket, our mini aussie. He has tons of energy and loves chasing waves, frisbees, and my son! I've gotten pretty good at doing my own mani pedi and just discovered this great purple hair mask by Verb.

Sundays are sacred family time for binge-watching Netflix or catching up on the latest superhero movie!


2. Which Ogee products do you incorporate into your self-care routine?

I don't use any foundation as I could never get the right shade and it always feels too heavy on my skin, so to add some color to my glow I use the Face Sticks. I love the variety of shades and how it's buildable. I can go as light or as heavy and they blend into my natural skin tone. I like makeup that doesn't look like I'm wearing makeup.

I am a big Seeds of Youth Serum and Jojoba Glow Face Oil lover. No joke I live for this stuff! Smells great and also leaves my skin smooth, hydrated, and glowing all day. I like to keep my routine clean and simple so the Dynamic Duo is the perfect go-to for me.


3. Other than skincare and makeup, are there any clean "swaps" you incorporate into your daily routine?

I grew up loving my Doritos, french fries, and cookie dough, but after having my son I decided to try and eat healthier. As much as possible, I buy organic food at the farmer's market. I also stay away from strong chemicals when choosing cleaning products and when possible, I research and use home remedies.


4. What are you most looking forward to this spring?

Baseball, being able to hug my mom, and having rosé happy hour on my stoop!
